EA Sports is giving college football players a huge raise following the success of their College Football 25 game

As reported by The Athletic, EA sent emails to players on Tuesday that announced an increase in name, image and likeness (NIL) payments. Players will now receive $1,500 if they agree to allow their likeness to be used in EA College Football 26. This is more than double the $600 offered last year.

EA offered 11,000 players payment of $500 (plus a free copy of the game) for allowing their names, images, and likenesses to be used in the resurrected college football video game.
